Dacia's new look is the radical car rebrand we've been waiting for

Car rebrands have tended to involve relatively minor tweaks lately, usually simplifying a well-established logo. But Renault's Dacia is going for a more radical revamp with its new logo, colour and vehicle designs. It's finally revealed how the new Dacia logo unveiled last year looks in situ on the cars – and it looks kinda sharp.

The new Dacia logo in particular is a radical departure from its previous identity with a more modern, geometric look that could almost convince us that it's a higher-end brand. It's a refreshing transformation for a carmaker that Renault bought from the Romanian government just over 20 years ago. And while it isn't going to make it to our pick of the best logos of all time, it's certainly a sharp new look for a value-focus brand.
